Apple just released iOS 9.2 for all. The software had been moving through both public and developer betas for the past several weeks, so we had an idea of what to expect.

You’ll find improvements to Apple Music, the company’s new dedicated music streaming application, including support for creating new playlists when you add a new song, downloading full albums and playlists from your iCloud music library and more. Other features include 3D Touch for iBooks, a new “Top Stories” feature in the News application and stability improvements for Podcasts and Safari. Siri now also has Arabic support.

As 9to5Mac points out, Apple pulled other features like AT&T NumberSync support, which was being tested earlier and allowed iPads to place and receive phone calls from the same number as an iPhone, even without the iPhone nearby. That will likely come sometime in 2016.

Here’s a look at the full changelog from Apple:
